Are there any circumstances that would make you that dirge YNWA ?


Sing-a-long-a Carousel. If that was a thing.

I saw the ENO do it and Nicholas Lyndhurst sang it. I never did see the end of Goodnight Sweetheart, but I'm glad to see he made it back from the blitz after using his time travelling superpower to bonk that barmaid.
 
It's from a crap, depressing musical - Billy's big emotional moment is based on him attempting to emotionally coerce his daughter into ignoring the fact he had been abusing her mother.

No way I ever feel like singing along. And I have heard it more than a few times having played in the pit orchestra for 75+ performances.
 
Both me and my dad didn’t sing it at my uncles funeral and I walked away thinking that was the most bitter knobhead thing I’ve ever done and I regret it entirely. We’re adults, every domestic Everton fan will have red family members and it’s ultimately just a song it doesn’t really matter that much.

I wouldn’t sing it even if it was my own mother’s funeral I’m sorry, how would she know anyway ?
 
Personally, as childish as it sounds, I don’t think I could ever bring myself to sing that song.
Would only sing it sarcastically if Weird Al Yankovic made a parody version.

They all sang it a my brothers wedding reception, waving napkins and all that.

We are good mates but, I went for a pee. Luckily he saw the funny side of it as about twenty of us sis the same thing, all back in the second it ended.
I went to a Jewish wedding were the groomsmen all had YNWA printed on their yarmulkes...

Sang as well at the reception, but with a sort of Jewish twist.
The irony of singing a funeral dirge at a wedding was lost on them.
Surely that can't be a good omen for the marriage?!?

You can respect it, you dont have to sing it
 
I sang it a little at my Dads funeral. He was a red but not obnoxious about it. He was always unhappy my Uncle Johnny bribed me to be a blue when I was 6 or 7 by taking me to GP. My 4 sisters are reds.

Anyway, it was just that one time and I did it for my Mum.

My family were always terrified I’d wrap a blue scarf around him in the coffin.

They need to change the title of the song to ‘You’ll never walk alone unless you run your contract down and leave on a free’.
 
At my dear friends funeral last year they played YAWN I nearly booed. She was red through and through, but she knew I hated them. She'd have been well gutted to miss out on last season.
